800 bucks for wheels.

200 a wheel. I'm not sure that's a DEAL, but it's not terrible.

Only paid $700 for my 19" TSWs with Falken FK452 tires in 235-35-19, mounted and balanced, as new as they can be without actually still having the stickers on them. Shop around before you buy. Got mine on VWVortex, and there's always a pile of nice wheels for sale there.

I've always liked your wheels.

I'm on the lookout for 18" TSW Nogaro or Jaramas. I like most of the TSW five spoke wheels though .

Thanks man, I'm a longtime fan of TSW. Great designs and they seem built very nicely for a brand in the middle pricing tier. Look at the Thruxton too - would look killer on a B5.

To the OP, take a look at some of them - I think you'll like them. Speaking generally, I'd advocate a five or seven spoke too. Be different and skip the mesh wheels - they look great on a B5, which is why 90% of B5s have them, but the spoke style looks damn good too

Pricing seems ok on those wheels from the OP, first thing that jumped out at me though was the tires that come on them... "Venezia Crusade HP" ??

That set on the zine you just posted would be a much better choice IMO
